15s9:163D Animated Character Builds LEGO Figure in Time-Lapse
A 15-second multi-shot 3D animation showing a masked character assembling LEGO bricks into a figurine through a time-lapse build sequence. The prompt uses two reference images to lock the character's design and the final LEGO result, with strict rules preventing facial or stylistic alterations.

Prompt (original, unmodified)
FORMAT: 15s / MULTI-SHOT / TIME-LAPSE BUILD SEQUENCE STYLE: Bright, playful 3D animation, soft global illumination, vibrant colors, smooth cinematic motion, childlike warmth ⸻ CHARACTER SETUP: •@img1 = main character (MUST remain EXACTLY as reference: no mouth, no nose, same mask, same proportions, same outfit, no alterations) •@img2 = LEGO-style figurine model inspiration (final build result) ⸻ SCENE 1 (0s–3s) – ESTABLISHING Full room view, warm sunlight pouring through a window onto a clean desk. @img1 sits at the desk, posture slightly leaned forward, focused and calm. LEGO pieces scattered across the table. Camera: slow cinematic push-in. Mood: peaceful, creative, bright daytime energy. ⸻ SCENE 2 (3s–6s) – TIME-LAPSE START Time-lapse begins. @img1 rapidly assembles LEGO bricks with precise, smooth hand movements. Blocks snap together quickly, forming the base structure. Camera: quick angle cuts (front → side → over-the-shoulder). Lighting remains soft and sunlit. ⸻ SCENE 3 (6s–9s) – HAND DETAIL Close-up on hands. Fingers nimbly snapping LEGO pieces together with satisfying motion. Bricks begin to resemble @img2’s form. Camera tracks hand movement smoothly, shallow depth of field. ⸻ SCENE 4 (9s–12s) – BUILD PROGRESSION Time-lapse intensifies. The LEGO creation rapidly evolves into a clear version of @img2. @img1’s body language shows focus shifting into excitement (head tilt, subtle posture lift — NO facial change since no mouth). Camera: orbiting slow motion mixed with time-lapse. ⸻ SCENE 5 (12s–15s) – FINAL REVEAL Time-lapse ends. @img1 pauses, looks down at the finished LEGO figure (matching @img2). Subtle head lift to acknowledge completion (no smile, expression conveyed through posture only). Camera pulls back to wide shot, sunlight glowing over the desk. Final frame: completed LEGO figure centered in view. ⸻ ⚠️ STRICT CHARACTER RULES •DO NOT add a mouth or nose to @img1 •DO NOT change head shape, mask, or textures •DO NOT stylize @img1 into LEGO form •Keep @img1 fully consistent with reference image at all times

How this prompt compares
The techniques this prompt uses are more common in 3D cartoon prompts than in the library overall:
| Technique | In 3D cartoon | Library average | Lift |
|---|---|---|---|
| soft light | 25% | 18% | 1.4x |
| warm tone | 24% | 17% | 1.39x |
Across all 5,926 prompts, the techniques used here appear at: tracking 41%, natural light 29%, soft light 18%, warm tone 17%.
The 15s duration is not arbitrary: 71% of the prompts in this library that state a duration ask for exactly 15 seconds — Seedance 2.0 accepts clips up to 15 seconds, so 15s is the model's ceiling and the most common choice.
